Chapter 24 Part1 (1/2)

I feel like I don't want Arisa and Ellie to meet anyone other than Ed…

”Let's go to a city!”

Right when Arisa, Ellie, and my joint lives began to calm down.

In the middle of meal, Arisa's words announced its end.

”Wa……?”

Surprised by that, Ellie and I exchanged glances.

”That's pretty sudden.”

”Why, Arisa-sama?”

Ellie and I both tilted our heads.

While looking at us, Arisa said, ”Your hair colors are the same too, just like siblings……only leaving me out……” and seemed somewhat lonely.

”……With master……?”

Ellie looked at me detestably.

Again, I wanted to protest against that.

Rather, Ellie and my relations.h.i.+p can be called one between dogs and monkeys.

After all, we're fighting all the time.

……It was like that recently too.

When I was laying on the sofa tired from hunting, and wonder about the refined deep thinking of 'how to make the world peaceful using Ellie's animal ears', Ellie sent a look of despise from the bottom of her heart towards me, and said 'Master, you only come in handy during times of combat (LOL). I'm cleaning, so can you move, pervert (LOL)?', purposefully speaking respectfully.

⸺Nevertheless, I didn't move!

”Ellie and I get along well……!?”

Impossible.

That definitely shouldn't be possible.

Usually, Ellie and my opinions coincided.

When Ellie and I *jii* stare at Arisa together, Arisa gently cleared her throat and dodged our gazes.

”……*Kohon*! For the time being, I'm going to go and report the case of the village's slaughter. Right now, Ellie's situation seems to have calmed down too.”

Arisa was looking at us bitterly, and she *kurukuru* entangled her long silver hair on her index finger.

She seemed to have lost her nerve.

”Is that because there's no guarantee they won't move again……?”

”Yeah. But, there's we probably won't be attacked. Not while we're in this forest.”

”This area has a danger level of five after all……”

Ellie and Arisa 'Yeah yeah' nodded to each other.

(What's this danger level thing? I don't know anything about that though……)

I alone was left behind by their conversation.

”Still, there's no guarantee that they won't target other towns. I don't feel like saving strangers to the point of fighting them, but although they're strangers, lives are at stake here⸺”

”So are you just going to give them information?”

Arisa nodded to my words.

”Yeah. As expected, if we didn't give them any information, and a lot of people end up dying, it'd be bad for my dreams, so we're going tomorrow. Ed, Ellie, both of you get your preparations ready.”

”I got it.”

”I understand.”
